Nearly 20% of all Microbiology articles are tagged with some concern! These mark areas for improvement. Feel free to post on the talk page if you need a hand! Improve articles to GA! Check new articles added to our project! Start new articles Pick your favorite protein/microbe/microbiology-related thing and start a new article! If you need a hand, post on the talk page! Discuss Join in discussing proposals on the talk page. Any ideas are always welcome! Improve the project itself Assist in public relations and outreach by recruiting editors interested in microbiology to contribute. A bot-generated list of users active on microbiology pages is here! Categorise microbiology related articles Label articles of interest to the project by putting the banner template on the talk pages of all articles of interest to microbiology. Categorise articles by adding them to the appropriate microbiology categories as shown to right. Here are some tasks awaiting attention: Cleanup : Sterilisation (microbiology), Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus Expand : Antimicrobial, Colony-forming unit, Microbiologist, Lactobacillus, Lactic acid bacteria, Escherichia coli, Indicator bacteria, Yersinia pestis Merge : Bacterial cellular morphologies: (Coccus, Diplococcus, Coccobacillus, Bacilli, etc) Coliform Index into Faecal coliforms Merge and redirect all Alga stub basionyms Split : Mycoplasma Stubs : Category:Microbiology stubs, but also...
